"Hahahaha, it's really a big deal!

Are you so sincere? Do you think we are three-year-olds?

The first point is that you beg us to replace prisoners, not that we force you to replace them. This is that you have something to ask for us, and others have something to ask for, and they also act as a lofty attitude. Let me ask, can your request be promised?" Du Gou laughed and mocked.

"But your 60,000 troops are in our hands!" Park Manchang argued.

"Ha? Well, go and slaughter. As long as you can kill me, I will no longer have to waste food to raise those useless envoys. I heard that one of them is called Yuan Gassuwen, it is your big lord. Since you have no sincerity, as the commander said, these people just happened to kill the sacrificial flag."

Park Manchang didn't dare to make this decision for Yeon Gaisuwen, because Notha Yanshou was loyal to Da Ge Lu. Da Ge Lu captured military power, so Goguryeo was his. He was just a neutral faction. If Da Ge Lu was ruined by one sentence, he might be cut alive when he went back.

"you……

Please continue to talk and listen carefully.”

Du Gou nodded. This guy is quite arrogant. "The second point, do you say that the 60,000 army is in your hands? Joke, the Tang Dynasty warriors would rather die in battle than bow their heads. But I heard that you just surrounded and did not break through the city.

In other words, we have an army of 60,000 and a strong city in hand.

You want to exchange prisoners, you want to seize our weapons, and you want to take our city in vain?

If this happens, after returning to China, the general will definitely become a laughing stock for the Chinese people. Isn’t this humiliation?”

"No, it is our sincerity to surround and not attack, and we don't want to kill more people."

"Okay, we promise you to kill more people. You can attack. After the attack is over, we will really take the prisoners. Let's talk about replacing prisoners."

Park Manchang was a little anxious and blushed, "But that Beisha City was originally from our Goguryeo. It is not wrong for us to take back our own city."

Du Gou mocked: "Wrong, we will belong to the Tang Dynasty after we conquered three years ago.

If you said that you belonged in the past, then a few hundred years ago, your entire Goguryeo country was the territory of the Liaodong County of the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains. Should the Tang Dynasty inherit the Central Plains tyranny be inherited?”

"But we have been the founding of the country for a hundred years, and we have always been..."

"In terms of belonging to the city, there is no difference between possession for three years and possession for a hundred years. Don't make any arguments." Du Gou said disdainfully.

At this time, Tang Jian spoke, "It's not because of my official's words, but because your performance is disappointing.

Your and my purpose is to stop the two countries from raising troops, but after talking for so long, you have no sincerity. How can we come forward to dissuade Marshal Li?

Alas! Forget it, it seems that my trip was just a futile one. Please come back to Chang'an and report to His Majesty. Let's hand it over to Marshal Li's army here."

The old Jianghu Tang Jian made a move and wanted to leave, which made Park Manchang very anxious. The other two diplomats were too powerful and he was completely defeated.

He sighed helplessly, "You two, please wait. We do not consider this matter. Please give us the conditions for peace talks. Please go back and report. Since you are not satisfied with our sincerity, you must tell us what sincerity is."

Tang Jian signaled Du Gou, let’s talk.

Du Gou walked up and said loudly: "Okay, we will give you another chance."

My Tang Dynasty’s request is that you will capture the four cities of my Tang Dynasty for no reason, and take the opportunity to occupy the Huaiyuan Pass, kill 40,000 soldiers, and trap my 60,000 troops of my Tang Dynasty. This is the great evil that you are.

Now you are begging us to replace prisoners and want to get your envoys back. In order to avoid the two countries' further casualties, our Tang Dynasty can make a move. All of you withdraw, unblock the Beisha City, and give up the Huaiyuan Pass, Liaodong City, Anshi City, Jian'an City, and Jili City that are possessed without reason. In this way, we can release your envoys.

As for the 40,000 soldiers who were lost by your sneak attack, you will pay another pension and will not blame them. This is also a concession made by the Tang Dynasty to maintain diplomatic relations. Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty would not be able to explain to the people just forty thousand lives."

“This, this…

This doesn't work, you are talking big, you must not!" Park Manchang shouted.

Du Gou's face turned cold and he shouted angrily: "No? Have you made the decision?"

This official is not discussing with you, but is notifying you of our conditions. As for whether it is possible, you can go back and convey it to the person who has the final say.

Tell them how much is the Goguryeo Lou worth, you can calculate it yourself.

Our general only gave us two people today, including three days. The negotiations for overdue prisoner replacement failed, and the army killed the thieves and sacrificed the flag, and there was only one battle."

After saying that, Du Gou and Tang Jian shook their sleeves and left, leaving Park Manchang to sit on the stool, with helpless faces sighing in his heart, the Tang Dynasty is so powerful that Goguryeo is a little difficult to get on the tiger, but unfortunately, as a diplomat, does not speak enough.

Seeing the Goguryeo envoy returning to the opposite side in a daze, everyone in Li Jing's tent laughed and cheered Du Gou. Today's diplomatic rhetoric made the other party speechless, which was really wonderful.

Tang Jian sighed: "Looking at your young age, you can sway and improve your national prestige, I feel that our generation is already old, boy, you have done a pretty job. It's true that he is a good son of a tiger father without a dog son, Ke Mingsheng."

"Okay, Maoyou, no one knows it, I know very well. Your Wulang Tang Shanshi is called Du Gou's second in Zhongnan Academy. According to me, the achievements of Shanshi's nephew in the future will not be inferior to Du Gou. I'm afraid he will be better than you."

Li Jing said to Tang Jian with a loud laugh.

Tang Jian blushed and said weakly: "Everyone is each other, your two grandchildren are also good..."

The Tang Dynasty was so excited that it was about to hold a celebration banquet, but the Goguryeo side opposite was about to be in an uproar. When Park Manchang went back, he said that he was almost torn to pieces by the Goguryeo people. This was not a negotiation for prisoner exchange. For this condition, Park Manchang, he is going to surrender to the enemy!

Nossa Yanshou shouted angrily at Park Manchang: "Have you let the dog eat your brain? We have sacrificed 30,000 soldiers to get back the five cities in Liaodong. Now you tell me that I need to return the city and pay them pensions? How can you have the attitude to come back to face the Chinese people?"

Park Manchang lowered his head and was speechless. After a while, when the people who denied him stopped talking, he retorted: "As a Goguryeo diplomat, I have the right to represent Goguryeo to negotiate with full authority, but I did not agree to their rude conditions.

I said, this is the condition they issued. I am just a message. You can discuss how we deal with it.

But I have one thing to say: the other party only gave us three days, and the other party's Li Jing was very strong and wanted to start a war with us. If it weren't for the two Honglu Temple officials who sought peace, they would probably have already arrived at the city."

When everyone heard this, they all felt it was difficult. The Minister of Finance came out and shouted: "There can't be a war. Goguryeo has been fighting continuously in recent years. Either fighting with the Tang Dynasty or Silla, there was not enough food and property. We had already lost a huge amount of money in the war months ago. Now they have added 50,000 troops, plus 60,000 and 110,000 people in Beisha City. We cannot afford such a war now.

General, please think twice.”
